{Written while watching--and still being confused by the purpose of-- the Iowa caucus} Hi beauties! It's Tuesday of a week that is off to a brilliant start so far. I wanted to share these darling printed pants with you and talk about prints more generally. I am kind of afraid of things that are loud and flashy. I don't know- its just not me. I am way more subtle in my wardrobe choices, so my instant love for these pants was kind of an anomaly for me. I think the key for me to wearing prints is to choose a pattern in season appropriate colors (even though I am so dreaming of spring right now! ) and keep everything else simple. A solid, classic color on top and for accent pieces and I am all set! These pants are from Zara and I linked others below that are similar. I think you can wear a print like this to the office, with either a long sleeve shirt under the sweater or maybe a blazer and be perfectly appropriate and professional. What do you think?

And how do you feel about the election? Are you interested in politics? It absolutely fascinates me. When I was in college, I kind of thought I might get into politics someday. I am that person that watches it all and listens to it on the radio and just sort of immerses myself in it during election years. I find myself a bit distrustful of the media at times and its hard to separate the accurate from the misinformation that is swirling everywhere. Our country faces so many big issues that it can feel overwhelming and so polarizing. I try to remind myself that at the core- we are all people, we all have the same basic needs, the same hopes and dreams for our futures and our children's futures. This helps me focus when these candidates seem more like monsters than real people!! 👹👺 Thank you so much for stopping by, beautiful reader! Sweetly- Michelle
